Circling the Wagons

Pan Evangelicals Still Wield the Broken Sword of Political/Cultural Evangelism

An editorial by Orrel Steinkamp

“This appears to be a “circling the wagons” to recruit every able-bodied sort of evangelical into the new effort. Converting the culture appears harder than anticipated. […] If you can’t defeat the culture in the ballot box or with political alliances then you need to circle the wagons. If you can’t dominate the culture by “apostolic and prophetic decrees” in league with political forces, and if you can’t become junior partners with the Vatican and Jesuits,… Well! recruit every able body in sight. Different doctrine does not deter them. Anyone can enter this wide circle.”
